That is, when the trigger pipe is written to, the select/poll/epoll/kqueue wakes up, and can then check the condition variable.  As was suggested earlier, it means an extra 2 fds per thread, but that's much less of an issue since you're not limited to 1024 fds.

Well, C10k means FD20k then. Still doable ... though I hope the
process won't try to execve() anythink (close-on-exec might be a
strain)
